DETAILED DESCRIPTION

As described above, 5G system divides the whole continuous bandwidth resources into different subbands. In order to meet the requirements of different application scenarios, the different subbands may correspond to different configurations. Thus, there is a need for a solution to control the user equipment to access network.

It is found by the inventors that, in the 5G system, different subbands may be dynamically or semi-statically configured with different carrier numerology, for example, subcarrier spacing, Cyclic Prefix (CP) length etc. to meet the requirements of different application scenarios.

A time-varying subband configuration is not available in the current system, therefore broadcast-type signals and channels need to be redesigned. For example, the user needs to receive the broadcast-type signals and channels at an initial access, while it is difficult for the user equipment to acquire the time-varying subband configuration information at the initial access, thus the broadcast-type signals and channels need to be redesigned.

In embodiments of the present disclosure, transmitting broadcast-type signals and channels to a user equipment through a dedicated resource unit, so that the user equipment can perform configuration and blindly detect according to the broadcast-type signals and channels, and further access the network; by using the dedicated resource unit, the service data is not mixed with the broadcast-type signals and channels, so that the service data does not require complicated rate matching which can reduce the system complexity; since the dedicated resource unit is continuous in the time domain and the frequency domain, the dedicated resource unit is only configured to transmit the broadcast-type signals and channels, and the broadcast-type signals and channels included in each dedicated resource unit can independently support the user equipment to access network, the dedicated resource unit serving as a minimum unit for supporting the user equipment to access network, occupies a narrower frequency band. Therefore, the method in the present disclosure can also be applied to different kinds of user equipment having different bandwidth requirements or limitations.

In order that the above objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent, specific embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 schematically illustrates a flowchart of a method for controlling a user equipment according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. The method for controlling the user equipment shown in FIG. 1 is adapted to a network side and may include:

In step S11, transmitting broadcast-type signals and channels to the user equipment through a dedicated resource unit so that the user equipment can access a network.

Wherein the dedicated resource unit is only configured to transmit the broadcast-type signals and channels, and is continuous in a frequency domain and a time domain.

In some embodiments, the dedicated resource unit is a dedicated resource block which is continuous in the frequency domain and the time domain and can be located in any subband within the bandwidth resource. A time domain position and a frequency domain position may be preset, or configured by the network side as required.

The dedicated resource unit is only configured to transmit the broadcast-type signals and channels, and information included in the broadcast-type signals and channels transmitted by each dedicated resource unit can support the access of the user equipment, thus the dedicated resource unit is a minimum resource unit that can support the user equipment to access the network.

It will be appreciated by those skilled in the art that when a communication system is designed to support different kinds of user equipment, a bandwidth of the dedicated resource unit may be less than or equal to a narrowest bandwidth of a user equipment in the different kinds of user equipment.

The dedicated resource unit is not mixed with a resource unit for data transmission, that is, the dedicated resource unit is only configured to transmit the broadcast-type signals and channels, and is not included in an internal of a resource block for data transmission, for example, the dedicated resource unit is not a resource unit within a subframe or a resource unit within a Transmission Time Interval (TTI).

Thus, in the method for controlling the user equipment according to the embodiments of the present disclosure, since service data is not mixed with the broadcast-type signals and channels by using the dedicated resource unit, the service data does not require complicated rate matching, which can reduce system complexity. After receiving information in a resource block, the user equipment does not need to distinguish and match the data, and does not need to distinguish whether the information in the resource block is control information or the service data, therefore the user equipment can directly demodulate and decode data, and efficiency of the user equipment can be improved.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the dedicated resource unit may include a subframe or a transmission time interval in the time domain. Both the subframe and the transmission time interval can be considered as a minimum resource unit capable of independently decoding. It is understood that, the dedicated resource unit may be at least an resource unit that can independently decode, and the specific resource included in the dedicated resource unit may also be other resource units that are identical or similar to the subframe or the transmission time interval.

Since different subbands may have different configurations in 5G system, in order that all user equipments supported by the system can recognize the broadcast-type signals and channels, it is possible to transmit the broadcast-type signals and channels by using a preset configuration .

In some embodiments, the dedicated resource unit may be any subband within a bandwidth resource, and the user equipment accessing a network may be accessing a subband where the dedicated resource unit is located.

In some embodiments, transmitting the broadcast-type signals and channels to the user equipment may include: transmitting the broadcast-type signals and channels to the user equipment according to a preset basic carrier configuration, so that user equipments of different kinds can recognize the broadcast-type signals and channels.

Wherein the basic carrier configuration may include a subcarrier spacing and a cyclic prefix length.

Similarly, in another embodiment, transmitting the broadcast-type signals and channels to the user equipment may further include: transmitting the broadcast-type signals and channels to the user equipment according to a predetermined basic waveform configuration. Wherein the basic waveform configuration includes a multi-carrier/single-carrier waveform, for example, an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) waveform, a Discrete Fourier Transform spread Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (DFT-s-OFDM) waveform or other variant waveforms.

Similarly, in another embodiment, a transmission format and/or a transmission mode of the broadcast-type signals and channels are a predefined transmission format and/or a predefined transmission mode respectively. Since there are different transmission formats and/or transmission modes in a multi-antenna system, it is convenient for the user equipment to detect the broadcast-type signals and channels by using a preset transmission format and/or a preset transmission mode.

In some embodiments, the broadcast-type signals and channels may include at least one of a synchronization signal, a broadcast channel and a common control channel.

Wherein the synchronization signal is used by a user to search for a cell and is initially synchronized to the cell from which the synchronization signal is transmitted through a downlink process; the broadcast channel is configured to provide basic information of the cell such as antenna number, bandwidth and frame number etc. to the user; and the common control channel is configured to schedule the user to decode the system information, paging information and random access feedback information.

It is understood that embodiments of the synchronization signal, the broadcast channel and the common control channel only need to meet the above requirements and may be the same or similar to a synchronization signal, a broadcast channel, and a common control channel in a conventional system, but is not limited thereto.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the network side may transmit a synchronization signal and a broadcast channel through each dedicated resource unit, but the common control channel is scheduled by the network side as required. The network side may transmit the synchronization signal and/or broadcast channel on time-frequency resources of the common control channel as required. If the user equipment cannot blindly detect the common control channel, the synchronization signal and/or the broadcast channel may be received according to a predefined rule.

In another embodiment, transmitting the broadcast channel and/or the common control channel through the dedicated resource unit may include: transmitting the broadcast channel and/or the common control channel to the user equipment by using a preset broadcast reference signal. The broadcast reference signal may be not only applied to demodulate a reference signal required by the broadcast channel and/or the common control channel, but also applied for the user equipment to perform time and frequency offset tracking.

Wherein a time-frequency resource location occupied by the broadcast reference signal and a corresponding complex value (a plurality of complex values constitute a sequence) may be predefined and predictable by all user equipments.

In a non-limiting embodiment, a network side may transmit a broadcast reference signal, and a user equipment may utilize the broadcast reference signal for time and frequency offset tracking and/or channel estimation.

In another non-limiting embodiment, the broadcast reference signal is only present in the dedicated resource unit, rather than evenly distributed in all time-frequency locations within the bandwidth resource, which can save time-frequency resources.

In some embodiments, the broadcast-type signals and channels may include a plurality of signals and/or channels, and the plurality of signals and/or channels located in a same dedicated resource unit are independently encoded and modulated, so that the user equipment can independently demodulate and decode the plurality of signals and/or channels located in the same dedicated resource unit.

For example, the broadcast-type signals and channels may include a synchronization signal, a broadcast channel and a common control channel, wherein the synchronization signal, the broadcast channel and the common control channel may be independently encoded and modulated. Thus, the user equipment can demodulate and decode the synchronization signal, the broadcast channel and the common control channel independently, so that the synchronization signal or the broadcast channel and the common control channel can be demodulated and decoded independently as necessary to improve flexibility of the user equipment and efficiency.

In an embodiment of the present disclosure, the broadcast-type signals and channels transmitted by the network side through the dedicated resource unit may include a plurality of signals and/or channels, and there is a sequence among the plurality of signals and/or channels located in a same dedicated resource unit in the time domain.

For example, the broadcast-type signals and channels transmitted by the network side through the dedicated resource unit may include a synchronization signal, a broadcast channel and a common control channel, and the synchronization signal, the broadcast channel and the common control channel are sequentially arranged in the dedicated resource unit in the time domain as shown in FIG. 2.

In FIG. 2, a direction indicates a frequency domain and b direction indicates a time domain. A bandwidth resource 20 schematically illustrates an available bandwidth resource within a time domain range. The bandwidth resource 20 may be divided into a plurality of subbands, and three subbands are shown in FIG. 2 including a subband 21, a subband 22 and a subband 23. It is understood that although only three subbands are shown in FIG. 2, the actual number of subbands is not limited thereto.

A synchronization signal 241, a broadcast channel 242 and a common control signal 243 are located in a same dedicated resource unit 24 which is located in the subband 21 within the bandwidth resource. It is understood that, a time domain length and a frequency domain width in FIG. 2 are only illustrative and do not represent actual scale.

In some embodiments, transmitting the broadcast-type signals and channels to the user equipment through the dedicated resource unit may include: transmitting the broadcast-type signals and channels repeatedly in a plurality of the dedicated resource unit of different time domain positions and/or different frequency domain positions.

As shown in FIG. 2, the broadcast-type signals and channels may be repeatedly transmitted in a resource region 26 or a resource region 25,which has a same time domain position and different frequency domain positions compared with the dedicated resource unit 24 in the subband 21, or may be repeatedly transmitted in a resource region 27, a resource region 28 or a resource region 29 in the subband 21, wherein the resource region 27, the resource region 28 and the resource region 29 have different time domain positions and a same frequency domain position compared with the dedicated resource unit 24, the resource region 26 and the resource region 25 respectively, or may be repeatedly transmitted in other subbands other than the subband 21, such as in resource regions at a same time domain position, or in resource regions at different time domain positions.

Although the broadcast-type signals and channels included in each dedicated resource unit can independently support the user equipment to access to the network, there may be a certain probability of failure during the user equipment acquiring the broadcast-type signals and channels included in the dedicated resource unit, thus the user equipment may have multiple opportunities to acquire the broadcast-type signals and channels by transmitting the broadcast-type signals and channels repeatedly in a plurality of the dedicated resource unit of different time domain positions and/or different frequency domain positions, to ensure the successful access of the user equipment.

The user equipment may only receive the dedicated resource unit 24, for example, when a narrowband device has a same bandwidth as the dedicated resource unit; while a user equipment having a wide bandwidth may also receive the dedicated resource unit 24, the dedicated resource unit 25 and the dedicated resource unit 26 simultaneously, such that the success probability of acquiring the broadcast-type of signals and channels can be improved in a short time period, and the access efficiency is enhanced.

In some embodiments, the user equipment in the method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may be different kinds of user equipment, such as any of an enhanced mobile broadband user equipment, a large-scale machine-type communication user equipment and a high reliability and low latency communication user equipment.

Since different kinds of user equipment may require broadcast-type signals and channels of different contents, in an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method may further include S12 (referring to FIG.1) of dividing the dedicated resource unit into a plurality of dedicated resource subunits according to the different kinds of user equipment. Wherein transmitting the broadcast-type signals and channels to the user equipment through the dedicated resource unit may include transmitting the different kinds of broadcast-type signals and channels through the plurality of dedicated resource subunits, and each of the plurality of dedicated resource subunits is independently encoded and modulated.

Wherein the plurality of dedicated resource subunits may be acquired by dividing each dedicated resource unit only in the frequency domain, or by dividing each dedicated resource unit only in the time domain, or by dividing each dedicated resource unit simultaneously in the frequency domain and the time domain. Embodiments of division of the dedicated resource unit can be selected as needed.

Dividing the dedicated resource unit into a plurality of dedicated resource subunits according to the different kinds of user equipment, transmitting the different kinds of broadcast-type signals and channels through the plurality of dedicated resource subunits, and each of the dedicated resource subunits is independently encoded and modulated, thus the different kinds of user equipment can perform targeted detection, demodulation and decoding so as to save resources of the user equipment and improve access efficiency.

In another embodiment of the present disclosure, the user equipment may include different kinds of user equipments, the different kinds of user equipment correspond to broadcast-type signals and channels of different contents, and the different kinds of broadcast-type signals and channels in the dedicated resource unit may be encoded and modulated in hybrid. By interleaved and hybrid coding, a larger coding gain can be obtained.

Referring to FIG. 1, the method according to the embodiments of the present disclosure may further include a step S13 of instructing the user equipment to perform configuration for different subbands through the dedicated resource unit.

In some embodiments, the configuration may be performed by using a common control channel in a dedicated resource unit. Accessing the network in step S11 is to access a subband where the dedicated resource unit is located, and after the access the user can be instructed, through the subband where the dedicated resource unit is located, to perform configuration for other subbands, so that the user equipment can process business in all subbands within the bandwidth range according to scheduling of the network side.
